| [00:52.899] |
On a dark desert highway, |
| [00:57.590] |
cool wind in my hair |
| [00:59.749] |
Warm smell of colitas, |
| [01:02.889] |
rising up through the air |
| [01:06.059] |
Up ahead in the distance, |
| [01:09.489] |
I saw a shimmering light |
| [01:12.069] |
My head grew heavy and |
| [01:13.729] |
my sight grew dim |
| [01:16.008] |
I had to stop for the night |
| [01:18.889] |
There she stood in the doorway; |
| [01:22.290] |
I heard the mission bell |
| [01:25.269] |
And I was thinking to myself, |
| [01:28.290] |
'This could be Heaven or |
| [01:29.499] |
this could be Hell' |
| [01:32.469] |
Then she lit up a candle |
| [01:35.379] |
and she showed me the way |
| [01:37.409] |
|
| [01:38.758] |
There were voices down the corridor, |
| [01:42.028] |
I thought I heard them say... |
| [01:45.680] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [01:50.248] |
Such a lovely place |
| [01:52.759] |
Such a lovely face |
| [01:54.489] |
Such a lovely face |
| [01:58.049] |
Plenty of room at the Hotel California |
| [02:04.209] |
Any time of year, you can find it here |
| [02:10.289] |
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, |
| [02:14.499] |
she got the Mercedes bends |
| [02:18.499] |
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, |
| [02:20.819] |
that she calls friends |
| [02:24.089] |
How they dance in the courtyard, |
| [02:27.099] |
sweet summer sweat. |
| [02:30.789] |
Some dance to remember, |
| [02:34.790] |
some dance to forget |
| [02:37.359] |
So I called up the Captain, |
| [02:40.549] |
'Please bring me my wine' |
| [02:43.068] |
He said,'We haven't had |
| [02:44.799] |
that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' |
| [02:50.549] |
And still those voices are calling |
| [02:52.818] |
from far away, |
| [02:57.190] |
Wake you up in the middle of the night |
| [03:00.189] |
Just to hear them say... |
| [03:03.199] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
| [03:09.049] |
Such a lovely place |
| [03:10.869] |
Such a lovely face |
| [03:12.509] |
Such a lovely face |
| [03:15.849] |
They livin' it up at the Hotel California |
| [03:19.809] |
|
| [03:22.119] |
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis |
| [03:29.428] |
Mirrors on the ceiling, |
| [03:31.869] |
The pink champagne on ice |
| [03:34.739] |
And she said 'We are all |
| [03:36.769] |
just prisoners here, of our own device' |
| [03:42.009] |
And in the master's chambers, |
| [03:45.309] |
They gathered for the feast |
| [03:48.799] |
The stab it with their steely knives, |
| [03:51.359] |
But they just can't kill the beast |
| [03:55.029] |
Last thing I remember, I was |
| [03:58.299] |
Running for the door |
| [04:01.449] |
I had to find the passage back |
| [04:04.119] |
To the place I was before |
| [04:08.389] |
'Relax,'said the night man, |
| [04:11.800] |
We are programmed to receive. |
| [04:15.290] |
You can checkout any time you like, |
| [04:18.299] |
but you can never leave |
| [04:20.299] |
